This study investigates the effectiveness of Building Resilience in Transcultural Australians (BRiTA Futures) for Adolescents, a strengths-based group intervention developed to build the resilience of culturally and linguistically diverse adolescents who experience acculturation in the context of their migration and resettlement journey.
The present study examined the effectiveness of the intervention using qualitative and quantitative procedures. Two hundred and twenty-nine participants (age range 12–20 years) took part in the intervention, offered to them in 3 formats (weekly, over 4 weeks or 2–3 full days). They completed pre and post questionnaires measuring wellbeing and resilience associated with acculturation processes. The participants as well as the facilitators of the intervention completed open-ended questionnaires about the process and short-term impact of the intervention.
A series of analyses of variances indicated an overall improvement in participants' wellbeing and resilience associated with the acculturation process. However, this improvement was not influenced by the format of the intervention, gender, visa status (refugee versus migrant), or duration of stay in Australia.
The qualitative data highlighted new skills learned by the participants as well areas for further improvements. The application of the intervention in school and community settings is discussed.

Last week we celebrated Lab Appreciation Week. Our laboratory and our scientific team members are the lifeblood of our company (pun intended). During this week we showered them with catered lunches, an ice cream party and gift bags. Needless to say, we love our lab.
The main laboratory, housed in our 36,000 sq/ft location in Deerfield Beach, Florida can handle hundreds of samples a day sent in from all over the US and neighboring countries . Next, the live blood samples are processed through our RoboCat II machines, built in our ISO certified, on-site, manufacturing facility. After the blood samples are processed, each graph is quality checked individually before sending to the results team.
Another way employees at CSS and PreviMedica, our sister telehealth company, can support the lab on a weekly basis is by donating our own blood for quality control checks that happen every day on every operating machine as well as donating blood to be utilized in our Research and Development department who tests for more efficient processes and verifies new antigens.
We are very proud of the work that our lab produces and the quality of that work shows in the thousands of lives that we are able to impact. Patients are taking control of their own health through our customized nutrition testing and able to achieve a stronger place of well-being.

Home AMD shares more than double on cryptocurrency market
AMD shares more than double on cryptocurrency market
Chipmaker AMD has seen its shares double in value in the past year, with investment experts claiming the increase is due to the cryptocurrency craze.
Millions of dollars have been spent by individuals and companies – mainly startups – buying equipment to mine for cryptocurrencies.
A crucial piece of that equipment is the graphics processing units that AMD sells. The demand for such GPUs have increased the prices of the component to a level where they are currently retailing for more than list price.
AMD has reported an increase in revenue for the second quarter of 2017. The total is $1.22 billion, which is an increase of 19 per cent compared to the same quarter last year.
The company says the increase is because of "higher revenue in the computing and graphics segment".
But as quoted by CoinDesk.com, AMD's CEO, Lisa Su, suggests the cryptocurrency craze probably won't last.
"Relative to cryptocurrency, we have seen some elevated demand," said Su. "But it's important to say we didn't have cryptocurrency in our forecast, and we're not looking at it as a long-term growth driver. But we'll certainly continue to watch the developments around the blockchain technologies as they go forward."
However, the fact remains that AMD's improved financial is down to the accelerating interest in cryptocurrencies, as CNBC noted.
The website noted that AMD shares have gone up by 102 per cent since last year, and that dwarfs the S&P 500's 14 per cent increase.
And an analyst CNBC quotes says the growth could continue.
Jefferies analyst Mark Lipacis said: "Crypto mining helped stimulate demand for AMD GPUs in Q2, which we think could translate to a risk should cryptocurrency values decline, AMD is working to manage the crypto risk by targeting supply to the core GPU gaming market, and working with some of its AIB [add in board] partners to offer specific feature sets to segment the market between gaming & mining. AMD is not including upside from mining in its outlook."
Many people may imagine that there will be a bubble at some point in the cryptocurrency, because some of the increases in value of some digital currencies look unsustainable.
For example, Futurism.com reports that a cryptocurrency called XRP, launched by a company called Ripple, has increased in value by 4,000 per cent since the beginning of 2017.

……confidence is silent insecurities are loud…..
My shakedown hike went well. I got in 17 miles, probably would have gotten the whole 20 in but I kept getting distracted. There were pictures I needed to remember to take, the hidden tire swing and waterfalls. It was a good day, my pack sat nicely on my hips and felt light on my shoulders. Got a bunch of compliments on my tail (oh yea and it glows), found a great spot to clip it on my pack.
I started in the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve, it's a pretty flat trail with some small climbs if you deviate onto the side trails. Plus there is a waterfall, there was a lot of people so I didn't linger there. My new hiking outfit is cute and comfortable but I will have to remove the sewn in shorts from the skirt. This Danskin skirt I dug out of storage, I quickly remember why i never used it. The cut of the skirt is good and fits great, now. However when I was larger it did not. Most hiking skirts are not cut for girls with curves or hips. The built in shorts ride up because I do not have a thigh gap, so they will be replaced by some more spandexy capri's!
It is only apropos as I prepare for my next hike that I feel this mix of emotion and a general life shift. The Arizona Trail is gonna test me with water issues and logistics. The Appalachian Trail will be about closure. This chapter of my life is coming to an end, yep. What is the next chapter…..don't know…..I got writers block.
I don't think you are wrong..
Shakedown is such a good idea, I think.
howdy biken buddy, your looking really awesome an tone'd! I hope you have many more great hiking adventures… I've turn off FB an I don't miss it one bit. I find out today when my Doc with cut into me an fix my screwed up back.. Take care Sweetie an Happy V-day a few day's early!
Hey, Chuck, yea time to refocus! I hope all goes well with the doc! Keep the rubber side down my friend.
You also Elsye! jeep expoloring!
Hey mo! There are a lot of great "sport skirts" out there now. I lean towards the least expensive ones. Thrift stores have great stuff, sometimes they just need a little tweaking!!


Each year, CommonSource, a Houston-area document management firm, makes a commitment to give back to the community and make a difference. The firm capped off 2009 and started 2010 with generous donations to families in need and the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
During the holidays, CommonSource adopted four families plus five individual children from Holy Name Catholic Church and purchased much-needed food and gifts. CommonSource employees took time off of work to separate the items into boxes.
In addition, CommonSource proudly supports MDA, a nonprofit dedicated to curing muscular dystrophy, ALS and related diseases, along with providing comprehensive health care, support services, advocacy and education. Zdansky was selected to join a select group of MDA supporters called Elite Fifty, which raised more than $100,000 to send 125 kids to camp.
CommonSource's Production and Quality Control Manager, Cheryl Traber, also helped raise funds for MDA by participating in the Greenspoint Lock-up fundraiser. Her contribution garnered $34,024 for the organization.
For 2010, CommonSource has already participated in a Texas EquuSearch fundraiser and MDA's "All In for ALS" poker tournament where 357 guests played for the charity raising more than $152,000. Zdansky and her staff also have plans to participate in MDA's Stride & Ride in March, Make-A-Wish Foundation Wish Night 2010 in May, and many more charitable activities and events during the coming year.
Ann Zdansky poses with the "Goodfather", the self-proclaimed Don of good works for the Muscular Dystrophy Association (MDA).
